Having different methods for API endpoints, write a checklist to test them code example

Example 1: what do you test in response api

Basicall we are checking response body
to verify if request matches with response.
In the response we are verifying
(body, status code, header, response time,
 test structure of json against the given jsonSchema)
 
 
If file not under resources: 
File schemaFile = new File("src/test/resources/postSuccessResponseSchema.json");

     given()
        .spec(adminReqSpec)
        .contentType(ContentType.JSON)
        .body(abcUtil.getRandomHeroPOJO_Payload()).
     when()
        .post("/HEROS").
     then()
        .body(matchesJsonSchema( schemaFile )  ) 
        
        
If schema file under resources:
  given()
      .spec(adminReqSpec)
      .queryParam("nameContains","a")
      .queryParam("gender","Female").
  when()
      .get("/abc/search").
 then()
 	  .time( lessThan(2000L));	
      .body(matchesJsonSchemaInClasspath("searchSpartanSchema.json") )

Example 2: have you done api testing

I have worked on API testing in my project and I used
POSTMAN for manually testing and REST ASSURED
java LIBRARY for automation.
I used JDBC and it is a Java-based data access technology
used for Java database connectivity. It provides classes and
interfaces to connect or communicate Java application with
database.
JDBC API is a Java API that can access any kind of data
stored in a Relational Database. It enables Java programs to
execute SQL statements.
